Angry workers barricaded the entrance of the
station with drums and other items in order to
cripple the activities of both the local radio station
of 106.5 and Africa independent Television
station. Customers had to turn back because they
could not access the premises along NTA- Choba
road in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
Barri Peremougu, Southern Director of station,
was almost lynched by the angry workers
according to witnesses at the scene.
Not paying workers is a common trend among
media houses in Nigeria. Daar Communications
continuously denies workers pay despite the
huge amounts earned in commercials. In the last
session of general news every segment of news
was commercialized. There ihas been no
explanation given by management for the cause
of back-pay to employees.
